When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Repairing the breaches (that’s for your roofer)
- Some conductive membranes
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

How electronic leak detection works in Bledington
Some flat roofs cannot be tested electronically. Certain membranes conduct electricity, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. We’ll say if ELD will not work on your roof at the start. Any details you have about the membrane and build-up help us decide, such as drawings or specifications. It avoids arranging a test that can’t give results. If you’ve noticed leaks showing away from the breach and punctures from foot traffic or tools, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Bledington may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

What electronic leak detection looks like in Bledington
Chastleton House, about 4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bledington. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you let a flat or house near Kingham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Bledington Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. The streets around a church such as Church of St Leonard are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.
Bledington is about 10 miles north of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. We cover Bledington and the rest of Oxfordshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. Our Oxfordshire coverage includes Bledington and the places around it. There’s also a page for Oxford.
We work across OX7 for electronic leak detection and the streets around it. Whether your property is on Main Street, Station Road and Old Forge Close or a nearby road, we can help.

Around Bledington
Bledington’s nearest station is Kingham station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Moore Cottage Hospital (4.9 miles west) and Park House Toy Collectors Museum (3.7 miles north-west).
Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Why act early in Bledington
Testing a new membrane before it is covered is easier than tracing a leak later. Covered roofs are harder to test. Outbuildings and barns around Bledington are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.

Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Some single-ply membranes suit electronic testing well but it depends on the product and layers.
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane and that changes how testing works.
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes longer on a large roof than a small one, with the construction of the roof playing a part too. Around Bledington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the roof and the leak.
- We check whether the membrane and build-up suit ELD.
- We choose a low-voltage or high-voltage method to match the roof.
- We test the roof and locate any breaches.
- You get a report with photos of each breach.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
